Bex, from Essex, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

Toy story first birthday photo shoot and themed cake.

I know why photographers and cake makers charge a fortune now, as both are very skilled crafts. Wasn’t ready for a cake smash mess thought photos would be easier. Trying to get a one year old to pose and keep a hat on were like trying to wrestling a baby bear but the end results were amazing and great for thank you cards.

Do you have any other projects planned?

Now his sister wants a princess themed photo shoot for her bday next month. So I’ve painted her some THREE letters princess themed like her brothers toy story ONE.

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

My name is Bex I’m a mum of two. Max has just turned one and Indy will be three next month.

How are you finding being housebound so far?

I had only just returned to work after maternity leave. So it’s been like being on extended leave with better pay lol. The kids have loved it as we have done crafty things non stop. I never baked or done so much stuff in the garden.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Get a large supply of toilet rolls and egg boxes for ample craft projects.

Has being part of our community helped you?

I’ve loved seeing other people’s ideas and tips trying them out.
